| Izumi | Let’s get practice started. |
| Tasuku | ... |
| Azuma | ... |
| Izumi | (The mood here is awful as always. The first day of the performance is just around the corner... This isn’t good.) |
| Tsumugi | I don’t think that practice would go well if we keep things going like this. |
| Izumi | I agree... |
| Tasuku | ...*sigh*. Let’s move on. Regardless of how we really feel, we shouldn’t bring it to practice. |
| Azuma | Regardless of how we really feel. |
| Tasuku | What? |
| Azuma | I don’t mind quitting if my being here is detrimental to our reputation. |
| Izumi | Azuma-san——!? |
| Tasuku | Where did that come from? I didn’t say anything like that. |
| Azuma | Either way, it’s not untrue that I sleep with my clients regardless of who they are. And among those people there may have been someone involved with GOD-za. |
| Tasuku | Please cut that out. You were the one that doubted me first to begin with. |
| Besides, saying that you’d quit so easily... What’s the big idea? It’s the same as when you said you were moving out. You’re too irresponsible. |
| Izumi | Azuma-san has his own circumstances—— |
| Azuma | It’s fine, Director. |
| Homare | ——Can I have a word? |
| Izumi | Homare-san? |
| Homare | Why don’t you let me sort things out? |
| First, Azuma-san. |
| Perhaps it’s because you feel inferior regarding your suspicious job as a sleeping partner, but it seems that you are concerned about how the other members view you.[1] |
| Azuma | ... |
| Tsumugi | Homare-san, that way of saying things is a bit—— |
| Homare | Secondly, Tasuku-kun. |
| It appears as if the fact that you used to be in GOD-za bothers you more than we thought. That is also the reason why you did not nominate yourself for the leader position, is it not? |
| Therefore, you are afraid of being doubted. So, in order to protect yourself, you are being overly aggressive. |
| Tasuku | —— |
| Homare | And Hisoka-kun. You don’t have any memories; even if you are doubted, you cannot make any excuses. I assume that you are keeping quiet because of that –– you are afraid of being targeted with suspicion. |
| Hisoka | ... |
| Homare | And it appears that Tsumugi-kun has not gotten over the trauma of failing to enter GOD-za. |
| That is the reason why he cannot come forward to resolve this conflict assertively as the leader. |
| Tsumugi | ... |
| Tasuku | ... |
| Izumi | (Everyone got quiet... He may have been right on the mark, but this way of saying things is just...) |
| Azuma | ...Sorry, let me take the day off from practice for today. |
| Tasuku | ...I’ll do the same. |
| Hisoka | ... |
| *door shuts* |
| Tsumugi | ...Homare-san. There are things you can and can’t say. |
| Homare | —— |
| Tsumugi | I’ll go cool off as well. |
| *door shuts* |
| Homare | ... |
| Izumi | Homare-san, all the things you said may have been true. But they’re all things that everyone didn’t want to hear. |
| Homare | ...I made a mistake again. |
| Izumi | ...Again? |
| Homare | I do not understand people’s minds. Just like a broken cyborg. |
